Rational to Optimize e-development Solution for IA-64 Version of Linux64, Windows 2000 and Monterey64
LEXINGTON, Mass., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Rational Software (Nasdaq: RATL - news), the e-development company, today announced its commitment to support teams developing software for the Internet using the Linux operating system. As part of this commitment, Rational has announced that it will work with Intel to port its e-development solution to Linux64 (Trillian), Monterey64 and 64-bit Windows 2000 all running on the IA-64 family of processors.
As a result, customers developing software for the Internet will be able to quickly and reliably build next-generation applications that harness the advanced processing power of IA-64 using Linux, Monterey and Windows 2000.
Rational will expand its Linux support to provide a comprehensive solution for Linux software development on IA-64. Rational currently has products that support the development of software for Linux, including Rational ClearCase 4.0, which provides complete software configuration management for distributed teams, and Rational Rose Real-Time, which provides UML-based visual modeling for embedded software development.

''Rational is committed to providing a complete life-cycle solution on Linux, Monterey and Windows 2000 to help customers rapidly embrace Intel's IA-64 architecture.''

''Intel welcomes Rational's efforts to support the IA-64 platform,'' said Steve Smith, vice president and general manager, Intel's IA-64 Processor Division.
